MR FABRICATOR (1) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Manuel Americano gets the best out of this five-year-old gelding. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MONGOLIAN CHAMP (5) showed good pace over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to score by 7 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SOCAL RED (4) finished third two runs back at Turf Paradise (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 2.25 lengths over 1609m at CANTERBURY PARK Turf (Turf). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. NORTH ARM BAY (2) finished a 5 length sixth on turf at CANTERBURY PARK Turf two back then followed up with a minor placing on turf at CANTERBURY PARK Turf over 1509m two weeks ago. One of the genuine hopes in the race. Don't underestimate back on dirt.
